A cultural excursion which reveals three towns with surprising histories.<\/span><\/p>\n

It starts with Locri<\/strong>. Situated in the Reggio Calabria province, it is one of the most ancient colonies of Greek origin<\/strong> in Calabria and dates back to the 8th<\/sup> century BC.\u00a0 We will visit the archaeological park and the museum.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the late morning we will leave the ancient Greek colony to continue our tour to another little Calabrian jewel: Gerace<\/strong>. The town, now a national monument, is of particular historical and cultural interest and in 2015 it was ranked the 7th most beautiful town in Italy. <\/strong><\/span>Entirely created in Medieval times, it has a charming typical historical centre and a beautiful cathedral of major importance (the largest in Calabria): the Church of San Francesco from 1252.\u00a0 We will also view the remains of the Norman castle. <\/span><\/p>\n

After lunch there will be some free time to visit the town before the final stop:\u00a0 Stilo<\/strong>. The hometown of the philosopher Tommaso Campanella<\/strong>, it has been called the \u201csun city<\/strong>\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

The famous \u201cCattolica\u201d, a Byzantine church, has a special historical and cultural appeal as it is the oldest in Calabria, dating back to the 9th century.<\/span><\/p>\n
